• Envy dv7t-7200: SSD upgrade in 2nd slot on HP Envy dv7t-7200. Cannot find or run the Bios

  So I added recently internal a second drive in my HP Envy dv7t-7200 because she had a second slot. The first was a 1 TB HARD drive and what I added is a compatible 500 GB SSD from Crucial. At startup, the SSD was not recognized as I can't find anywhere in my computer to use. Also, I tried to go into the BIOS to see if the second part of the motherboard to the drive 2nd spot has been activated but now the computer starts too fast and I can't enter the BIOS. Given that nothing is installed on disk 2, I have no idea why the computer starts much faster. Would it be due a QuickLaunch for the BIOS update can I have recently installed? If so, how to uninstall that?

  I also wanted to just insisted on my laptop as possible and that's why I decided to upgrade, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  A new empty ssd drive will not be displayed in my computer (PC), until the disk is initialized and formatted. Right-click on computer and choose manage... disk management and see if there is a new blank disc. If so create a new volume in it (partition) then format then assign a drive letter.

  You want to have the OS on the SSD and have it in the main location as only a car in this slot is bootable. You lose the speed of the SSD in the second location for pure storage. As hanging Secretariat up to a plow.

• DV6 7000 with RAID 0 - SSD Upgrade?

  I have a dv6 7000 series, Intel 3210 m, 750 GB hd with ssd of 32 GB as a cache - according to the Device Manager, I have a Raid 0 configuration. I have the latest version of the BIOS.  Can I put this by replacing the HD with a SSD?  If so, will it remove the ssd of 32 GB?  The installer has nothing on readers - it will detect automatically?  I put in place a chat session with technical support twice, getting 2 different answers, none of them well informed. Thanks for any help

  Here's the thread I was talking about.

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-Pavilion-notebooks/676213-definitive-guide-clean-install-OS-MSSD-cache-equipped-laptop-dv6t-7000-dv7t-7000-Envy17-3200-a.html

  The 32 GB SSD cache is a micro-SATA card (which is upgradable - they come as large as 512 GB now) so you want to probably not install your OS on it because it is not very much space, but you can be upgraded to 128 GB for now relatively cheap and then you won't have not to lose all your mechanical hard disk = space)

• HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade processor

  Hello

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.  Due to a new job, I need to update my processor of the current 2.30 GHz (see exact specifications below, please) of at least 3.0 GHz.

  Is there a processor 3.0 GHz there that is compatible with this particular computer? I called tech support and they told me they don't know. I don't know who else to ask.

  This computer was purchased just a few months ago (before I got the new job). I really don't buy a new computer, if possible, if I can upgrade the processor in it.

  Here are the current processor specifications:

  Intel Core i7 3610QM
  Codename Ivy Bridge
  RPGA Socket 988 B package
  The 22nm technology
  Specification Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz

  Thanks in advance.

  Well, it seems that one (that I found) 3.0 GHz processor that Intel made for my chipset (HM77 Express Chipset) and it's the Extreme edition i7-3940XM (http://ark.intel.com/products/71096/)

  Priced at $1,000 +, it looks like I'll be shopping for a new computer.

  Don't know if anyone from HP read the peer forums, however, I won't buy another HP product.

  This machine had problems outside of me needing to upgrade the processor for my own personal reasons. Your support is grossly lack in all areas even pull your techscannot model with the serial number.

  Visitors should not go out on the Internet for questions of research like this.

• Impossible to install OS on SSD for QE dv7t-7000

  The difficulty to install the operating system for my brand-spanking-new QE dv7t-7000 on a 120 GB Kingston SSD (V + model, I can provide details but don't know offhand)

  Operating system is WIndows 7 Pro

  Base processor QE

  Try to install recovery disks. I feed all four discs, a lot of progress through the test bars. Lots or that it recharges. Looks like it's done nearly completely when the installation process falls down. Looking at the newspaper said something like:

  '2nd ch...' and 'Error detected... RM error bonnefin'

  "[DeployRE] Impossible to return c:\rm\rp\sources\boot.wim to d:\Recovery\WindowsRE\WinRE.wim.

  "[DeployRE]. Could not find \bootmgr

  "[DeployRE] Impossible to move Deskttop.inr to d:\". »

  "[DeployRE] annot move Typelist.tst d:\". »

  or something to that effect. I've got 2 MB of files which describe all this, if you are really interested.

  I ran gparted live on the thing and it seems that the installation process put a 300 MB partition and a 92 GB NTFS partition and some quite small partitions (do not remember) and left almost 20 GB unallocated. Strange.

  I suspect one of the following conditions is true:

  (1) curiously, 120 GB is too small to build a c:\ drive base for a newish computer. Especially when you talk about all the bloatware included in a recovery disk HP base install.

  (2) HP and Intel have found a way to prevent people from using SSDS on newer computers. Maybe they did things in the BIOS. They want to analyze the benefits brought by the SSD in incremental blocks and sprinkle them to the top of the line. Note that HP includes only the SSD in their more expensive laptops.

  (3) pilot error

  (4) the SSD is broken

  Any suggestions are welcome.

  Hello

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery process, there is a work before right around.

  You can create an installation of the retail disc yourself using another PC-just download the good Disk Image from the link below ( this must be the exact version provided with your laptop) and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• DV7t-7000 / A5F92AV: updated SATA drive question

  Hello

  I'm looking to replace this original SATA3 drive in my DV7t-7000 with 2 new drives.  I am interested in Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD for the boot drive and a digital Western WD10JPLX (1 TB/7200 RPM/min/SATA3/4096 block).  I need some advice on if these components will work with my older HP laptop.

  I did some research and I'm not sure a 1 TB/7200 RPM would be recognized by the system.  I read where I might need to go with a drive 5400 RPM instead (again, not sure).  I am also concerned by the 4096 AF (Advanced Format) specs on the new drive compared to my old drive.  I read some of the latest discs may work in 512th (emulation) to be compatible with older systems.  I have looked for the specs SATA on my laptop and can't find if it would support the AF 4 k format.

  If someone with more familiarity with the Player upgrades could let me know if these discs would work for my upgrade (or suggest other specifications that would be better), I'd be happy.  I can always buy a new version of the original disk of 1 TB for less money, but the new WD Black drive has a warranty vs 5 years the 2 years on the OEM Seagate drive.

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Dean

  Because it's just going to be storage, everything you need to do is put the 1 TB drive in and use the disk management console to initialize it, partition, format, and assign drive letters (Mount). Windows 7 or a works perfectly with the advanced format drives.

• MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 pcie ssd upgrade

  Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

• 17 - k204tx: SSD upgrade.

  Hi, I have an SSD upgrade on my laptop. I was wondering if my model, a 17-k204tx has a slot m2 on the motherboard and if so, what size m2 cards it will accept? Or do I have to buy a standard 2.5 "disk instead?

  Yes, there a m2 slot. Here is the Service Manual:

• W530 - choose what size SSD upgrade strategy?

  I still hesitate between two strategies of size SSD upgrade for my brand new W530.

  1. an (internal) SSD + a HARD drive (internal)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB of the main Bay in a shopping cart, then in housing as a backup drive-ultrabay
  • Buy a Crucial SSD m4 (512GB) for the main Bay and use it to drive to OS/programs and road data

  2. two SSDs (internal) + a HARD drive (external)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB in an external case (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use it as a backup drive
  • Buy 2 m4 Crucial SSD (128 + 256 GB):

  -one in the main Bay as player of OS/programs (128 GB)

  -one in a basket, then in housing ultrabay as data drive (256 GB)

  I also want to let you know that a 512 GB SSD is a little more expensive than a 128 GB SSD + a 256 GB SSD. Also, I like to choose the best strategy of resistance, reliability and durabilty.

  Could you share with me the benefits & disadvantages for both strategies and tell me which is the best strategy for your point of view?

  Thanks for your help,

  Bertrand

  @p1

  I agree with the approach of @eos. I have configured my W520 on the same track. I have an mSATA SSD 256GB (a - Data), with a 750 GB HARD drive in the Bay of primary and a 500GB HDD in the Ultrabay slot.

  The mSATA SSD is my boot device, even if I sometimes start from one of the other disks when testing new configurations.

  The mSATA slot is SATA 2 don't bother me a bit. It's very fast. Sometimes, I put an mSATA SSD in an mSATA to the 2.5 enclosure and run in the Ultrabay SATA 3-speed housing. I'm hard pressed to notice the difference.

  You're better off using a partition of HARD drive for data for various reasons. On the one hand, at least write cycles committed SSDS, longer it will last. Second, if your system partition is lost, your data is still intact. Third, you can save a small partition of data rather than a larger combo partion.

  I love having the flexibility of two open bays using the mSATA offer slot - i.e. I sometimes swap in my optical drive in the Ultrabay slot, etc.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• Can I add a second drive to an edition four dv7t-7000?

  The HP parts store said on a drive has been supported, but configuration options have shown

  several configuration with two drives.

  I had hoped that I could add a caddy and power/bus connector from the parts store.

  Only, I have configured the machine with a drive and add a second drive (from my dv7 dead 3085 dx).

  The machine is supposed to arrive June 18

  Thanks for the ideas...

  Jerry

  The answer is a qualified Yes.

  The kit suitable for the dv7t-7000 is ' 681976-001.  This kit comes with the

  Caddy and a power/bus short and long cable. It also has some screws

  the disk drive on the caddy.

  It contains also the 2 screws M2.5xL4 which will be attached the main drive caddy to the

  the computer chassis, but there is no screws to attach the second drive caddy to

  the framework.

  the recommended screws are 2.5 M x 9 L.

  I picked up two 2.5 M x 8L live in ACE hardware work fine.
